Welcome to Hearts of the Holy Family with your host, Yves Jacques. In this episode, we delve into the profound and timely devotion of Our Lady of the Expectation, a feast traditionally celebrated on December 18th. This devotion, rooted in deep reverence for Our Lady during her time of awaiting the birth of Christ, highlights the sanctity of life and the profound mystery of the Incarnation.
Explore the origins of this devotion, its ties to the "O Antiphons" of Advent, and its connection to the joy and trials of the Holy Family’s journey to Bethlehem. Yves shares personal reflections, stories, and a beautiful piece of artwork depicting Our Lady of the Expectation, painted by his daughter.
This episode invites you to meditate on the Incarnation, the role of Our Blessed Mother, and the ways we encounter Christ: at His birth in Bethlehem, on the altar in the Eucharist, and within our hearts. Yves also emphasizes the importance of the Rosary and its power to draw us closer to these sacred mysteries.
